Golden Ten Data reported on April 10 that Capital Economics economist Hamad Hussain stated that if the recently agreed US-Iran ceasefire can be maintained, the price spread between Brent and WTI front-month contracts may return to normal. Typically, Brent crude has a premium over WTI crude, but this pattern has been broken since the outbreak of the latest conflict. Hussain noted that the current inverted spread measures the price difference between Brent futures delivering in June and WTI futures delivering in May, with the two contracts having different expiry dates. However, he added that due to significant tightening in the oil market caused by disruption in Middle East supply, as well as market expectations that supply conditions will ease in the coming months, WTI's premium over Brent has widened.

Duan Yongping has made it clear that he will not sell Nvidia and sold a large number of put options on the day the news was released. Nvidia may invite Jensen Huang to serve as an advisor, taking on a “shadow CEO” role to retain his influence, but he would no longer have signing authority. Whether this scenario materializes will likely only become clear after the hearing concludes.
